Run For The Hills

Opis
A road trip across America brings a family together, in this raucous and moving new novel from the bestselling author of Nothing to See Here.
Ever since her dad left them twenty years ago, it's just been Madeline Hill and her mother on their Tennessee farm. It's mostly okay. Maybe sometimes a bit lonely. Then one day a stranger pulls up in a rental car and informs Madeline that he's her half brother, Reuben, abandoned by their dad thirty years ago. Reuben has hired a detective to track down their father, along with a string of other half siblings. And he wants Mad to join him on a cross-country road trip to find them all.
As Mad and Rube and eventually the others share stories of their father, they realise he behaved quite differently in all of his lives, and begin to question what he was looking for each time. What kind of man will they find? Who are they to one another? And how will these new relationships change Mad's previously solitary life on the farm? Infused with deadpan wit and enormous heart, Run for the Hills is a family saga like no other—a novel about a family forged in unlikely circumstances, united by hope in an unknown future.
Kevin Wilson is the author of the New York Times bestseller Nothing to See Here, as well as the novels The Family Fang, Perfect Little World, and Now Is Not the Time to Panic, and the short-story collections Tunneling to the Center of the Earth and Baby You're Gonna Be Mine. He lives with his family in Sewanee, Tennessee, where he is an associate professor in the English department at Sewanee: The University of the South.
'A touching and generous romp of a novel.' - New York Times
'Few writers can match [Kevin Wilson's] trademark blend of wit, wonder, and tenderness…Kevin Wilson's new novel moves from madcap to heart wrenching with ease, proving once again that no one can create a family drama like him.' - Chicago Review of Books
'[Wilson] blends humour, pathos, and a touch of the absurd to create stories that are both entertaining and thought-provoking...His characters are often flawed and quirky, but they're also deeply human, making them relatable and memorable.' - Time.news
'Wilson is positively masterful at quirky family dramas.' - Kirkus Reviews
'Fans will pounce on the latest from this beloved author of offbeat family fiction.' - Booklist
'Kevin Wilson is a much-needed literary voice…Mad is one of Wilson's best central characters, and each episode in her journey is a joy to read.' - West Side Books, Library Journal
'This is Wilson's special terrain, that sweet hurt where love and disappointment intersect.' - Washington Post
'Thoughtful, funny, emotional, and wise.' - Chapter 16
'Here's how Maureen Corrigan, longtime book critic for Fresh Air, once neatly summed up Wilson's “sweet-tart” fiction: “He'll start off with these goofy, almost sitcom-type contrived premises and from there create stories that knock you out with the force of their emotional truth.” That description remains apt here. His newest novel features a literally found family of half-siblings, on a road trip to track down the deadbeat dad who fathered them all—and abandoned them each in turn.' - NPR
'[U]nbelievably adorable sibling road trip…Real feeling and believable characters? Not problem. Kevin Wilson continues to do whimsy with as much heart as any writer ever has.' - Boston Globe
'Run for the Hills solidifies Kevin Wilson's reputation as one of America's most insightful chroniclers of family dynamics.' - Bookish Elf
'[Wilson's] sweetest novel…Funny in a way that hurts just a little.' - Minneapolis Star
'Wilson's a master of creating offbeat relationships, and this story of family, mystery, and hope against all odds will surely rank among his best.' - Town & Country
'Wilson is a master of writing about family…Run for the Hills spins an engaging yarn about loss and how it can sometimes lead to fortune. And it does so with a lot of humour.' - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
'Stellar writing, clever humour and offbeat family dynamics…Wilson remains the King of Quirk.' - KMUW
'Run for the Hills is as heartwarming as it is heartbreaking, with just the right balance of humour and emotional depth. It reminded me that healing doesn't always come from the person who hurt you, but sometimes, it also comes from people who were hurt just like you, and those who share the pain with you.' - Booktrib
'Amid the seemingly carefree attitudes are profound questions…Run for the Hills raises these questions and more with endearing aplomb. Forgiveness is difficult, sometimes, but these newly introduced siblings give it their best in this colourful novel.' - BookPage
'A work of genius: surprising, funny, sad, and completely original…Wilson is a fantastic talent…We need novels like this urgently.' - Nick Hornby on Nothing to See Here
'A big-hearted nerdy romance that evolves into a more ambivalent meditation on the power of art.' - Age on Now Is Not the Time to Panic
